After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 74: The Birth of the Divine Map

I don’t know if it’s because Jiang Lingxi rescued the little guy from the torn-open snake’s belly, but among the few people present, the little guy only wants to stick to her.

Even when Xu Zhao tried to touch it, he only got a chubby back in response. The little guy just wanted to nuzzle its fluffy, round little head into Jiang Lingxi’s palm.

Even when eating, Jiang Lingxi couldn’t pay attention to it. Sensing a weight on her leg, she looked down and saw the little guy clinging to her thigh, whining as if trying to get her attention.

"Why is it so clingy!"

She looked up to meet a sea of accusing stares around her.

They wanted to be clung to, too, but the key point is the little guy wasn’t interested in them at all.

It’s really helpless, yet they couldn’t help but feel a little jealous of the one being adhered to!

—"Jiang Lingxi, do you hear yourself? Is that even human speech?"

—"There are actually humans who don’t want to be clung to by a national treasure cub. Jiang Lingxi, at this moment, I admire your self-control."

—"I put a panda plush toy on my thigh, fantasizing that it’s a live cub lying there. Tonight’s dinner feels even more delicious!"

—"Really? Let me try too."

—"Is this what they call feasting on imagination? Haha, stop talking, I’m trying it too!"

...

This dinner, accompanied by the live broadcast, was by far the most thoroughly enjoyed and tasty meal the viewers had had.

The people gathered around the campfire were also eating happily.

They had a real national treasure in front of them!

Though it was indifferent to their affections, just watching it was enough to boost their appetite!

"I thought fish was tender enough, but this meat is even more tender," Jiang Kaiyuan said, using his stick chopsticks to stuff a big piece of meat into his mouth. "And I’m watching a national treasure while eating. Who could be happier than me right now?"

Jiang Lingxi glanced at him quietly.

Jiang Kaiyuan: "Well, it would just be Sister Xixi, who can pet a national treasure while eating."

The viewers laughed and then followed up with envious comments.

Some people, while watching Jiang Kaiyuan wolf down his food, couldn’t help but think a bit mischievously.

—"I just wonder if Brother Kaiyuan will be laughing when he finds out the meat he’s eating, which he thinks is more tender than fish, is actually from the snake he fears the most?"

—"Be a little kinder, don’t reveal it. He’ll thank you for it."

These two comments were upvoted crazily, followed by a big wave of "Hahaha!"

After dinner, the sky had completely darkened.

Now with five people in the team, they could easily pair up and take turns on night watch.

But when Xu Zhao mentioned the night watch arrangements, he was met with confused looks from Yu Hui and Jiang Xiyu.

A suspicion arose in his heart, "Did you two not take turns on night watch during your previous nights of rest?"

Jiang Xiyu responded without a second thought, "Wasn’t there someone... taking turns watching nearby?"

Though the middle part was left unsaid, everyone present and the viewers knew she meant the accompanying cameraman.

—"Actually, I’ve wanted to say this for a long time. As long as it’s a two-person team, whether it’s Jiang Lingxi and Jiang Kaiyuan or Xu Ai and Zhou Yi, even with a cameraman nearby, these two teams strictly adhere to the rules of wilderness survival. At night, there’s always someone awake to detect danger immediately, Xu Ge and Lin Jing as a solo team would intentionally find a safe place to rest lightly. Only Jiang Xiyu and Yu Hui are so carefree, not keeping watch and sleeping soundly. Finally, as a fellow professional adventurer, I couldn’t resist voicing my complaint."

Fans of Jiang Xiyu came to her defense.

—"Didn’t she say they were at ease because the cameraman was keeping watch, so they rested together?"

—"But in the expedition circle, behavior like this is irresponsible to oneself and one’s teammates. When truly adventuring, there are no cameramen!"

—"But isn’t this just a show? Is it worth being so serious?"

Seeing the two sides about to continue arguing, another comment popped up, "Instead of typing and arguing, why not look at the panda cub in Jiang Lingxi’s arms? This little guy probably won’t stay with the program crew for long, and soon professionals will come to take it away."

These words woke up the quarreling parties!

So the barrage was once again filled with "cloud sipping panda cub"!

—"Quick, record the screen, take screenshots. Such a cute little guy won’t be around to cuddle for much longer."

Jiang Lingxi feeding the cub with water, screenshot!

Jiang Lingxi putting the cub on her shoulder, screenshot!

Jiang Lingxi patting the cub’s butt for tugging her hair, quickly feel sorry, continue to screenshot!

...

Jiang Lingxi rescued her hair from the little guy’s claws. Seeing it still itching to play, she simply broke a twig and neatly tied her hair up, "If you dare to extend your claws again, I’ll chop them off!"

Jiang Kaiyuan, listening from the side, gasped and quickly covered the little guy’s ears, "Sister Xixi, don’t say that, you’ll scare the cub."

"Cub?"

"Yep, doesn’t the name sound nice?"

Jiang Lingxi: "..." She turned her head to look at her shoulder. The little guy was probably tired from playing and finally obediently lay down, "Cub?"

As she spoke, the round head on her shoulder tried to lift up but fell back halfway.

Jiang Kaiyuan leaned in to take a look, "Sister Xixi, the cub seems to have fallen asleep."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at the still cooling water beside her that she hadn’t gotten around to feeding it, murmured a soft "hmm," "It should sleep now."

Having narrowly escaped from the snake’s belly and then played around with her for so long, the little guy had spent all its energy.

Even the transfer to her leg didn’t wake it; instead, it hugged her leg tightly with all four paws.

Jiang Kaiyuan looked at this subconscious display of reliance with envy, cheerfully commenting, "The cub looks just like a leg accessory this way."

The viewers still engrossed in virtually cuddling the cub: Screenshot, screenshot, screenshot, mad screenshots!

Yet every screenshot always included Jiang Lingxi in the frame.

You can’t blame them for the little guy only sticking to her.

However, as netizens looked at the newly captured images on their phones, they found themselves unexpectedly holding their breath.

At this moment, the sky was dark and chilly, with only the flickering flames illuminating a warm space.

Amid this warmth, someone, shrouded in the chill of the trees, silently observed the black-and-white ’little accessory’ on their lap while a gentle smile tugged at their lips.

This scene inexplicably reminded him of a saying.

A mind with fierce tigers, gently smelling the roses.

Even he didn’t expect that an inadvertently captured frame would create such a unique and incredible image.
